HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— HARDY PERENNIAL PLAIjTS 



chrvsanthe:hu>is. 



(Shaita Daisy, Etc.) 



Arcticum {The Arctic l)<ii.ii/). Among fall-flowering peren- 

 nials this is a perfect gem. It forms an attractive rosette-like 

 clump of pretty dark green foliage, and in September multi- 

 tudes of flower stems appear, terminated by pure white flowers 

 from 2 to 2] inches in diameter. These t)egin to develop 

 during the last wetk in September and continue in good con- 

 dition throughout October and frequently into November; 15 

 inches. 25 cts. each; $2. 50 per doz. 



Mixed Shasta Daisies. Seedlings, all having large snowy- 

 white flowers, in bloom continuously throughout the entire 

 summer and fall. 1.5 cts. each; $1..50 per doz. 



Hardy Poinpoit Clirysantliemunis. 



These are now universally popular for outdoor bedding, and, 

 considering their many good qualities, there is no cause for sur- 

 prise to see them cultivated so extensively. They produce a 

 lavish profusion of blooms, giving color, life and beauty to the 

 garden just at a time when other plants have been destroyed by 

 frost and are looking their worst. Frost does not materially 

 affect the flowering, and it will frequently happen that an arm- 

 ful of flowers can be cut late in November. They are quite 

 hardy if planted in a well-drained position, and, with a slight 

 covering of leaves or litter during the winter, will take care of 

 tiiemselves after once planted.
